BYLAW REVIEW - WHARVES BYLAW AND PUBLIC PLACES BYLAW
| Colin Craig |
|
| Senior Planner |
19 March 2008 |
Auckland City Council is required under the Local Government Act
(LGA) 2002 to review its bylaw before 1 July 2008, unless the bylaws cease to have
effect before the date. In September 2007, the Planning and Regulatory Committee
resolved to streamline the review process and group the bylaws by type and priority.
The Wharves bylaw enables Council to facilitate the safe, efficient
and orderly control of wharves owned, operated or managed by Council, so that facilities
are available for the safe passage of the travelling public and the transport of
goods on and off vessels.
The bylaw will ensure that Council's wharves are accessible to the
public, and recreational and commercial vessel owners subject to appropriate conditions.
The proposed wharves bylaw is similar to the existing bylaw with one major amendment,
relating to how Council will recover its costs for the use of wharves by the operators
of commercial vessels.
The proposed Public Places bylaw will enable Council to continue
to control a diverse range of activities in public places to ensure that acceptable
standards of convenience , safety and visual amenity are maintained for the well-being
and enjoyment of citizens, visitors and businesses within Auckland City.
Recommending that Committee endorse the Wharves bylaw and the Public
Places bylaw review and recommend that these bylaws be forwarded to the City Development
committee for their approval for notification.
